Once Humuhumu gets a little of her life back (LOL!) and the Ooga-Mooga updates happen, I thought this might be a good place for suggestions. Here's a few of mine:

  • EBay prices should include shipping. The idea of posting mug priced indicates what someone is willing to pay for a mug, and that includes shipping. If someone buys a mug for $20 and pays $15 for shipping, didn't they really pay $35?

  • The ability to upload multiple photos at one time and choose which one is the "cover" image.

  • Ability to sort mugs by things like price, size, color, etc.

  • A way to mark mugs as one-offs and exclude them from searches, so I'm not seeing people's handmade mugs in the search results.

I think you are over thinking this just a bit. Something's "value" does not include the cost of shipping, whether it is on ebay or bought in a store while on vacation, and shipped home. I don't remember what I paid for shipping, but I can remember what I paid for purchase...and will continue listing mine as such.

For me, these are the key areas where I would like to see Oooga-Mooga updated:

  • Easier multi-photo loading process (I agree with Tiki Tacky on this).
  • Broader list of basic mug templates -- creating categories such as maker (Westwood, OTG, OOH, Tiki Farm, PopTiki, etc). In fact, I think it would be great to simply incorporate the 'mug search' categories as the mug templates. It is sometimes exhausting to figure out how to classify some pieces, limited by the template options.

Other than these things that will help streamline the process of uploading new mugs, I love Ooga Mooga!
